Allies of President William Ruto from Mount Kenya have acknowledged that Kenyans have already started to lose faith in his administration due to the policies he has started enacting, particularly on taxes. In addition, he said that Ruto had let Kenyans down since they had anticipated him to decrease taxes rather than raise them once he took office. He also said that even the MPs being pressured to support the measure do not fully comprehend it. "The public had hoped that once the Kenya Kwanza administration assume office, taxes will be reduced which is not happening," he had said. "The administration must act quickly and win back the public's trust so they may be assured that the funds raised will be used wisely.
